*Disease Information:
Leprosy, which is also known as Hansen's disease is an infectious disease by Mycobacterium leprae. They can affect human in various ways by making human lose the ability to sense touch or pain. When injuries happen, people will not know if they are in danger because their first defense line is gone. They affect nerves, skin, eyes, and nasal mucosa. The affected area becomes either light or dark and become dry. They can also be inflamed. Without cure, they can lead to a paralysis of limps. They are contagious, but there is an easy cure to this disease now. However, in third world countries, leprosy is still around affecting many people.
